That's totally true, but couldn't we have some sort of open list, where all the tasks get listed by people that want things done. for example, the good folks working on the java side might need help with imaging or someone else might need some of the man pages edited.
everyone in the community could vote on its priority, which should help guide people on where to start. one rabble could administer it collectively... simply to filter out profanity and complete rubbish. in essence, any sort of central management is out, but the open list, just with a list of todo's might help casual helpers find where they can help out most. this will build into more dedicated contributors and eventually, better developments? ... faster releases? ... an even better community spirit? you should never tell anyone what to do... they can just pick off what they want to do or even add another suggestion for a task. kev -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]De la part de Michael Nordstrom Envoye : 24 September 2002 12:47 A : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: Assign me a task On Tue, Sep 24, 2002, Greg M wrote: > Come to think of it, that's probably a bad idea since there are a > number of active developers on this project anyway that could do > the assigning. You shouldn't expect someone to tell you what to do, because that will probably never happen in a Free Software project. It's better if you find something that bugs you (or even better something that you are interested in:) BTW, you might want to take a look at the following list of advice, http://www106.pair.com/rhp/hacking.html /Mike _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
